I love making rings and recently I have been making lots of different rings... some commissioned rings where I have worked with the customer to create their own design, some rings where I have challenged myself to create a ring design that will fit many different sized fingers and some rings where I have been trying out new techniques...

Kyanite Flower and Swirls Sterling Silver Ring

This ring was an engagement ring I made for a customer. He specified that he wanted a kyanite gemstone with a flower setting and allowed me to freely create the swirly design. It was so much fun making this ring as I started with a basic sketch and then added extra swirls and circle to balance the design and to add strength.﻿

Sapphire Swirl Sterling Silver Ring

﻿Another engagement ring where my customer wanted a simple swirl setting with a sapphire which is his girlfriend's birthstone. The sapphire is set in a tube setting.

Labradorite Flowering Vine Sterling Silver Ring

This ring design came about when I was exploring the idea of 'one ring fits all sizes'. This adjustable ring band is not soldered closed but is a bit like a spring. It can be stretched larger or squeezed smaller. It is ideal for fingers with larger knuckles as it can be placed on the finger and then lightly pushed around to fit.﻿

Turquoise Fancy Bezel Sterling Silver Ring

A recent addition to my ring designs where I have been exploring adding hand stamped textures. A 'big and bold' ring, not for the shy ring wearer! This ring measures 2.5cm across and I have stamped around the bezel setting and given it a scalloped edge.﻿

Blue Chalcedony Striped Ring

Another bezel set ring. The faceted blue chalcedony gemstone is an irregular shape, so I gave it an irregular shaped striped patterned setting.﻿
